In Week 1, the Kansas City Chiefs won 27-20 at home vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are home again in Week 2. This time to face one of their biggest AFC rivals, the Bengals. Cincinnati struggled at home in Week 1 and lost to the Patriots.

The 27-year-old is set to miss at least the next four games for the Chiefs if not more. That means he will not play against the Bengals, Falcons, Chargers, and Saints. Luckily, the Chiefs are not in a dire posistion to have Brown back. Wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy look more than capable of carrying the workload for the Chiefs. Both…
